I was hoping you would get a reply. I posted the same thing about a month ago, with no replies. I want to build up a set with these hubs too. A local wheel builder here said the DMR hubs are "really underrated," but has never built any of the SS ones. A guy I ride with has some (not SS) on his 819 wheels and he loves them. Not sure that helps at all, but still . . . .

I have the geared hub and they are definitely underrated. I put about 300 miles on them so far through mud, rain, dirt, etc and they seem to be holding up well. When deciding between the SS and geared hub I read about users having issues with caliper clearance on the SS version so I decided to go with the geared.

I believe the one with the clearance problems was specifically the freewheel SS hub.

compare this pic to this one and you can see why some people had calipers hitting their spokes (hint: look at the left spoke flange)

Yeah I heard some good things about them from my bike shop to so I might go head and build a set with them. Plus its good to know the parts are available to get since the formula hubs I have now are a pain to get them for. There gonna go on a monocog 29er

Post back what you think if you get them. I am looking to put them on my Monocog 29er too. I'll do the same, since I may get them.

the owner at my local bike shop is running these on his geared bike and has no problems so far. I just found this out yesterday when I picked up my rear wheel for my monocog since the freehub let go. I might build a set up with them. They seem to be a nice setup for the money.

I've been running the DMR SS "freewheel" hub with a WI Trials FW for nine months. No issues at all.

When I built the bike, I noticed that there is minimal clearance between my BB7 caliper and the spokes,but there is no chance of contact. I run 24's, so this gap would tighten with the spoke angle for 26" or 29" wheels.

The DMR hub itself, is well (if not over-) built. I'll get another when I build up some 26" hoops this winter...

I've had the regular single speed hubs for over six months with salsa delgados. A buddy of mine raced on them for a year. I picked them up in perfect shape for $200. He also built them and made sure they were perfect when I picked them up. Same chain line as my phil woods, first time I've ever had a spare set of wheels. Hard too compare because they have a much smaller tire. They build up very light. I will buy 6 paw one day, just couldn't pass up this deal.

[QUOTE=KamloopsSingleSpeed]I have a 1x1 with the DMR Revolver freewheel hub and Avid BB5 brakes, I have had no problems at all. The bolt on feature is great for the 1x1, and it looks clean and simple[/QUOTE

Sorry, My Bad, I have the DMR revolver freewheel R Hub, Not the 6 pawl, should have read more clearly, but i do believe that the clearance issues with the brake are the same and I have no problems on my 1x1, and the freewheel version is a 5mm bolt on hub, yes.

they have a different flange design on the left side, so there should be no clearance issue with the cassette version

not to bring an old thread back from the dead but it seems easier this way i want to build a set of wheels with these the freewheel version though. will be for a 29'r is the clearance issue fixable? and does anyone have updates on these bad boys?
